About Z900

Kawasaki’s Z800 was the most affordable CBU available from Team Green in India, and also the most affordable four-cylinder model in the lineup. If you preferred a little more oomph and a lot more style, there was the Z1000 as well. The Z900 will replace both models in most markets with a combination of light-weight, and in the case of the Z800, more power. The Z900 clocks in at 12 bhp more than the Z800 and weighs a massive 23kg less, thanks to a new trellis frame. Its performance is further enhanced by a short ratio gearbox. The clutch is now a slipper clutch with assist technology, which means the lever should be light and progressive. There isn’t any ride-by-wire throttle or any other modern electronics to speak of, with the exception of optional ABS. The suspension is adjustable for everything except compression.

The lack of standard electronics makes us believe that the Z900 will offer one thing in spades – value for money. It remains to be seen whether its pricing will make it the value choice when it launches. Competition like the Yamaha MT-09 and especially the Triumph Street Triple 765 will find it difficult to beat it on sticker price, at least.
